In the days following his defeat in the presidential election, President Trump prepared to deliver an update on the administration's efforts regarding the coronavirus pandemic. During this address, he came closer to acknowledging that he would not be president after January 20 but stopped short of formally recognizing his loss. He stated, "This administration will not be doing a lockdown," while also alluding to the incoming administration without explicitly naming it, saying, "who knows which administration it will be? I guess time will tell." Trump's remarks reflected the ongoing transition of power and the complex dynamics surrounding the post-election period.
